Objectives of Programme's Learning Outcomes

  • Mobilise a structured set of scientific knowledge and skills and specialised techniques in order to carry out electrical engineering missions, using their expertise and adaptability.
    • Master and appropriately mobilise knowledge, models, methods and techniques specific to electrical engineering.
    • Analyse and model a problem by critically selecting theories and methodological approaches (modelling, calculations), and taking into account multidisciplinary aspects.
    • Identify and discuss possible applications of new and emerging technologies in the field of electrical engineering.
    • Assess the validity of models and results in view of the state of science and characteristics of the problem.
  • Communicate and exchange information in a structured way - orally, graphically and in writing, in French and in one or more other languages - scientifically, culturally, technically and interpersonally, by adapting to the intended purpose and the relevant public.
    • Master technical English in the field of electrical engineering.
  • Contribute by researching the innovative solution of a problem in engineering sciences.
    • Design and implement technical analysis, experimental studies and numerical modelling to address a given problem.
  • Mobilise a structured set of scientific knowledge and skills and specialised techniques in order to carry out electrical engineering missions, with a focus on Multimedia and Telecommunications, using their expertise and adaptability.
